Interested in how successful organisations achieve their aims. Love sport, especially football, cricket and golf. Strong interest in Palestine and Israel having lived and worked in both.
#R4Today #FIFA Whenever there's a grubby deal being discussed, like #GazaRedevelopment or selling out the #WorldCup the first person you think of as being involved is the #USPresident
#R4Today #SuellaBraverman refers to people on the left. Lady, we are ALL to the left of you!
#BBCR4Today I hadn't heard from #SuellaBraverman for some time but she's back on the radio today - still barking mad
#BBCR4Today #SuellaBraverman Me thinks the lady protesteth too much
The #BBC is constantly telling us that it presents news IMPARTIALLY. If that's so, why is a blatant cheerleader for #Israel - #AshleyDavis given airtime on #BBCNewsAmerica and allowed to promote her completely untruthful version of #Israeli colonisation of #Palestine?
#Random #VP #Vance says #LindsayGraham loved people. Tell that to the #Palestinians. Sadly, Mr Graham was flawed by his blindness to fairness and humanity
#BBCNews A guest on #TheContext, #AshleyDavis said that #US supports #Israel because "it is under constant attack from terrorists". Does she and #America not recognise that #Genocide in #Gaza, #Occupation, #Suppression and #LandTheft in #Palestine by #Israel as a deadly form of "Constant Attack"?
Overnight, Israeli settlers attacked Palestinians southwest of Jericho.
#Burnham needs to delegate small, local issues like #VAT on #electricity to ministers and focus on World issues with long-term effects like #GlobalWarming and #StateTerror conducted by, for example #Israel and #Russia. His focus should be on leadership, not popularity
#BBCLauraK How would #Burnham do on #Traitors? He'd be scheming to get #ClaudiaWinkleman's job!
#BBCLaurak #LucyPowell using words like #LaserFocused, #Vision and #Refresh isn't enough! It's not words we need but ACTION!!!
#BBCLauraK #LucyPowell says #Burnham will be a success because he's got a better vision.All of the recent #PM's had a vision - they all failed because they either didn't know HOW to achieve or the visions weren't achievable! We need to know the #HOW, not the #WHAT
#KemiBadenoch wants membership of #HouseofLords to be "on merit" not political appointment. Who sets the merit standard? Better still if appointments were based on high and relevant #COMPETENCE to balance the #Commons, where members are elected by popularity.
#R4Today #FIFAWorldCup I still don't get how #England's players are meant to be inspired by a #NationalAnthem whose words are about the wellbeing of one citizen who happens to be of #German descent!
#R4Today The #CovidEnquiry reminds us that #UK spent £10Bn buying unusable #PPE. Where are we up to in getting our money back from people like #MichelleMone? Has she paid back any of it yet?
#R4Today #Trump "If #Iran doesn't return to the negotiating table...." You'll do what? Get back to disclosing the #EpsteinFiles that you've hidden or redacted?
#R4Today #ThamesWater says that after raising customer bills by 40%, it can now keep the company going "through to Q4 2026". Did they expect praise?!!! The sooner the water industry returns to public ownership the better
#BBCR4Today Oh no, #BandwagonBuckland is back again!
#BBCLauraK The difference between politics and sport is that if you're "Holding out for a hero" they sometimes turn up in sport.
#R4Today Amal, its #PartyTime all summer long every summer in #Norway. It's a happy, wealthy country! It helps that they didn't sell off their oilfields to #USOil, unlike #Thatcher's Britain.
#R4Today Acquisition by #USPrivateEquity companies has been disastrous for customers - look at #WaterCompanies and #CareHomes for example. Why is #UK allowing bids for #ITV and #Easyjet by #PrivateEquity?
#BBCR4Today What's the attraction of #Easyjet to #US #PrivateEquity firms like #Apollo? The #£5billion in assets which they can mortgage to generate cash for their #Epstein class owners / investors. Why would the #BritishGovernment allow this to go ahead, crippling a successful UK company?
